my first drag race at a UK strip

[xxxscimitarxxx]

Well lm 54 and its about time l lost my cherry.

l was messing about under the Zed and a guy stops as hes walking past just to ask about the car...pretty much an anyday occurance when driving the 'Yellow Peril' in the UK

but he asks if l was going to be at Santa Pod raceway (UK) at the weekend

Hmmmmmmmm thinks me...home for a few weeks before going back overseas, just done an oil change, car running great, drag radails that have never been used in anger

YEAAAAAAAAAA!

So tomorrow l will hopefully report back a less than emabarrasing time for me and the old boy

Question

what suspension setting is best for drag.... tour/sport/firm ?

I was actually thinking soft tour to get some weight transfer

My cars seemed to launch better on the performance setting. You'll just have to try them and see which one works best for your car and track.

Have fun tomorrow.

The drivers manual says to use the sport setting and launch at about 2000.

Good luck!

Any update. How'd you do?

John,

Do you Maracca valving? Sport seemed to be the best setting for me.

John,

I don't have the Maracca valving. The car seemed to leave better and I got my best 60 ft times on the performance setting on both cars.
1991 #458, best et 12.53 (one of the good motors I guess)
1991 #473, best et 13.00 (no traction ever, tires old?)
